Summary
If you are looking for a fast learning, work hard, go getter then I am your guy!!! I started working for an hvac company straight out of high school after an unexpected shoulder injury cost me my scholarship. I started there as a helper then moved to a mechanic and then within a few years was running my own small jobs. Then my small jobs grew to larger and larger jobs until they were giant buildings in dc with ten plus guys working under me. I went on for several years running large scale jobs until i got to the point where i was no longer satisfied with only doing the hvac side of things, along with being lied to repeatedly about raises, so I seeked out a position as a superintendent. I found a small family owned company and it was a perfect fit for me to learn and grow in this major step in my career! I was put on a seasoned supers site for 3 weeks then released out on my own. I was given a small project then before the year was over i was running 3-4 large projects at a time. Then the covid-19 and i had to take some time off due to losing all of our childcare. Since then I have been working my hardest to climb my way up the ladder. I am a go getter and take very much pride in my work and I always put forth my best effort with everything i do.
